The Fighting Scots got to Denison starter Danny Brackman in the third, plating six runs on four hits. John troll entered in the third with two outs and runners on second and third.

The Africa Medical Supplies Platform, Africa's United Continental Supply Chain Response To COVID
Johannesburg/Cairo/Addis Ababa, 17 July 2020 – Following a successful launch of the Africa Medical Supplies Platform (AMSP) by the Chairperson of the African Union, His Excellency, the President of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa on the 18th of June 2020, the AMSP has gained traction in sourcing of supplies of medical equipment, struck new and groundbreaking partnerships globally, and has experienced a surge in demand for medical supplies from Member States of the African Union.
Updating the Chairperson of the African Union, His Excellency, the President of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa on progress the platform has made thus far, African Union Special Envoy, Strive Masiyiwa, appraised the President of key developments the platform has made in the past three weeks.
AMSP launch of drugs for recovery treatment
"I recently directed the (AMSP) platform team to also begin to add promising pharmaceutical products that might be helpful to our doctors, working in close collaboration with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC)," said President Ramaphosa.
As an update to this instruction, Mr Masiyiwa responded, "I'm pleased to advise you that at our request, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has committed to joining our initiative to secure a drug called dexamethasone, which is being used to treat COVID-19 in hospitals in the US and Europe on very sick patients following the results of the RECOVERY Trial. The trial demonstrated significant reduction of mortality, saving lives that we couldn't save without this intervention. About 1 million people will benefit from the drug (equivalent to 9 million tablets), which will be distributed proportionately for free to all countries that are interested in its use."
The Gates Foundation's Africa Director, Cheikh Oumar Seydi, noted, "The Gates Foundation gladly supports this initiative of the Africa Medical Supplies Platform to bring COVID-19 treatments to the African people. We have a shared belief that access to lifesaving tools should not be dependent on ability to pay."
In addition, the Africa CDC, has further secured $15m from the MasterCard Foundation, which has been used to buy PCR Test Kits through the platform.
"These tests will support our Partnership to Accelerate COVID-19 testing initiative that was launched a few weeks ago," said the Executive Director of the Africa CDC, Dr John Nkengasong.
These donations of both dexamethasone and test kits will be distributed for free to AU Member States, once they register on the platform so as to confirm their allocation and arrange delivery.
Mr Masiyiwa further explained, "In addition to our efforts securing the best drugs on the platform, we are preparing to become a critical player in how oxygen supplies, monoclonal antibodies and vaccines are accessible on the continent when it is globally available. "
AMSP expands in supply and demand globally
Mr Masiyiwa also told President Ramaphosa that he was pleased to report that the UNICEF catalogue was now listed and purchasable on the platform while the applications from vendors of medical suppliers have increased threefold from the time of launch.
'Mr President, l am pleased to report that the platform has proved popular with suppliers and is receiving applications from an average of 40 new vendors per day," he said.
Mr Masiyiwa also reported that demand for medical supplies on the platform was high and included Member States of the African Union, leading international non-governmental organisations as well as international and African foundations.

"We are also zeroing in on ensuring that we expand access of our platform to hospitals and local authorities approved by their governments of Member States. We believe this will help to ensure critical supplies are available at the hospital level in a speedy and timely fashion," said Mr Masiyiwa.
He concluded the briefing by advising the Chairperson of the African Union His Excellency, the President of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa, that under his leadership the platform had also achieved international recognition with Member States of CARICOM (Caribbean Community and Common Market) joining the platform to access critical medical supplies to fight COVID.

VILLA NECKER
bestoftrieste.com / September 25, 2019
I have lived next door to this Villa since I moved to Trieste. Sealed off to the public by iron gates and a stone wall and video cameras with a sign warning "Military Zone – Keep Out – Armed Guards" I was of course even more curious to understand how this once beautiful villa came to be under military command. Luckily for me, the Giornata del Patrimonio Culturale Europeo (European Heritage Day) rolled around and the Villa was finally opened to the public this past weekend.
What one can see right away, is that this was, in fact, once a sumptuous villa situated in a very large park – 7.4 acres to be exact – nearly adjacent to the waterfront (back then the area now known as the "rive" had not yet been filled in). This area once lay outside the walls of the old city and was designated to become a neighborhood for the wealthy. Several large villas belonging to the premier merchant families of Trieste and members of the Austrian court sprung up nearby and the neighborhood became known as the Borgo Giuseppino (for the Hungarian Emperor Joseph II).
The villa was originally built in the mid 1700s for Franz Xavier Freiber von Konigsbraun as a country home and it boasted the first Italian garden: formal, with symmetrical plantings, making full use of adjacent landscapes. As is customary with this type of design, a "playful" waterscape was featured prominently thanks to a small river that passed under the land — there were fountains, ponds and streams incorporated into the layout. Several follies also dotted the garden.
It was then sold in 1776 to wealthy merchant Domenico Perinello who dubbed the villa, Villa Anonima and 10 years later it was sold to the dutch merchant Ambrose Strohl del Strohlendorf who was swindled by his business partners and was forced to sell the villa.
Ph. BOT
In 1790 the villa was acquired by a new owner, the "great customs officer" Antonio Cassis Faraone (Pharoon), born in Damascus in 1745, a Muslim convert to Christianity, he was Sultan of Egypt's finance minister, and, a rumored fugitive who moved to Trieste with all his wealth to evade a palace conspiracy. Renamed Villa Cassis, it was renovated both inside and out to reflect the exotic taste of the new owner who filled the house with an immense collection of paintings and works of art. Cassis delegated the garden plan to master builder Giacomo Marchini who created a spectacular garden with an elaborate Orangerie, pergolas, giant statues and more elaborate fountains and water features. His principal aim was to stun the town's nobility by turning the villa into a dazzling and exotic residence reminiscent of A Thousand and One Nights. Together with his beautiful consort Tecla Ghebara, Cassis and his 10 children would promenade through Trieste dressed in the most fashionable clothing of the time, complete with a jeweled turban and scimitar for him and his wife adorned in spectacular jewels. In Trieste he established himself as the premiere import-exporter for the middle and far east amassing an even greater fortune. To his credit Cassis did a lot of philanthropic work for the city and was a major cultural patron and the first owner of the Giuseppe Verdi Opera House in Trieste. It's said that after each performance he would be met by his turbaned Moor footman who would accompany him and his wife home in their resplendent carriage.
After the untimely death of Cassis in 1805, his heirs rented the villa to Marie Leszczynska, Queen consort to King Louis the XV of France and her children who moved to Trieste from 1806-1811, seeking refuge after the French Revolution. Not long after, in 1819, the villa was sold to Napoleon Bonapart's younger brother, Jerome Prince of Monfort and King of Westphalia and his wife Caterina of Wurttemberg. Once again the Villa enjoyed a period of "regalness", as it became a satellite royal court for the Bonapartes, where they were referred to as "their majesties" and no expenses were spared.
Ph. BOT The table where General Alberto Ferrero consigned Trieste to the Germans
The Bonapartes transformed the façade with the insertion of the clock in the central tympanum with a small niche originally intended for a bell and they added Napoleonic eagles to decorate the fireplaces in the main hall. Princess Catherine, ordered the construction of a pergola to provide a view across the gulf, she also commissioned a chapel and a theater and filled the home with sumptuous furnishings, removing all traces of the exotic style of Cassis Faraone, including the gigantic statues and exotic plants.
It is here that "Plon-plon" (Prince Napoléon-Jérôme Bonaparte b.1822 -d.1891) was born, a major figure in the unification of Italy.
In 1827, the villa once again changed hands and was purchased by the Consul General of Switzerland, Theodore Necker. In his role as diplomat, he revealed himself as a capable problem solver, intervening in commerce related maritime disputes. While in Trieste, he also became involved in banking and lending, amassing for himself several properties throughout the city. In 1849, Necker died in his home in Switzerland and his heirs then sold the villa to the Austro-Hungarian Navy which turned the villa into a command center. At the height of the Austrian Littoral period, the villa once again played a protagonist role hosting captains and crews of visiting war ships. However, by the end of the Austrian rule over Trieste, the villa fell into the hands of Slovenian militia for a brief period, and then Italian troops soon took over and from that time forward, the villa was passed from one military command to another:
1851-1918 Seebezirkskommando Austria
1918-43 Italian Military
1943-45 German Command
1945 Yugoslavia (Titini)
1945-54 Allied Troops (UK & US)
after 1954, Italian Military took over the villa through the period of Trieste's reunification to today where it is now under the command of the Commando Militare Esercito FVG.
The structure, has three floors above ground. It is in the Neoclassical style, with the facade divided into five parts. At the center of the ground floor stands a semicircular portico with columns on pedestals, which frame the three arched entrances. The upper lintel has a classical frieze decorated with metopes and triglyphs, to which rosettes corresponding to denticles correspond in the band above. This structure supports a semi-circular terrace the parapet is a balustrade in white stone with plaques decorated with floral reliefs, on which three window doors with a triangular tympanum open. There are several panduri heads that serve as water drains.
The central part of the façade is emphasized by the presence of a larger tympanum with a clock, ending with a pediment. Neoclassical style vases are placed on the top of the façade. It is said that ships coming to Trieste, would look for the illuminated clock-face to get their bearings, as one would use a lighthouse beam. Also on the property are a bunker and air raid tunnel leading to Campi Elisi on the shore.
Sadly, today, there are none of the sumptuous furnishings as many were looted in the various occupations. The terrace over the portico is crumbling and is being held up by straps anchored to the frame of the building. The gardens are overgrown with fallen trees and weeds everywhere. Few remnants and ruins of the once palatial garden fountains and follies can be found buried under the brush. Three tennis courts languish under the overgrowth and it now serves mainly as a home for feral cats…
It is a shame that this once beautiful treasure has been so neglected. At one time the City of Trieste was going to take it over but the effort got tied up in red tape. It would be so lovely to be able to restore the garden and make it available to the public – perhaps even creating public gardening spaces to be leased. Surely this green oasis ought to be rescued…who knows if there is some hope of restoring this famous garden to create a green space in the center of the city?

(3rd LD) Daily cases over 4,000 for 4th day amid extended virus curbs
All News 21:39 January 15, 2022
(ATTN: UPDATES with latest figures in 6th para)
SEOUL, Jan. 15 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's daily coronavirus cases stayed above 4,000 for the fourth consecutive day Saturday, as health authorities keep a tight vigilance with the extension of strict social distancing measures for three more weeks.
The country added 4,423 new COVID-19 infections, including 4,077 local infections, raising the total caseload to 687,984, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).
The country reported 22 more COVID-19 deaths, raising the death toll to 6,281, according to the health authorities. The fatality rate came to 0.91 percent.
The number of imported cases was tallied at 346, down from a daily high of 409 reported Friday.
The number of critically ill COVID-19 patients came to 626.
As of 9 p.m., the country had added 3,552 new COVID-19 cases, up 257 from the same time the previous day, according to health authorities and city governments. Daily cases are counted until midnight and announced the following morning.

The health authorities have been on high alert as concerns persist over a possible resurgence of the virus due to the fast spread of the omicron variant and ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday late this month.
The government has decided to maintain a 9 p.m. curfew on restaurants and cafes while raising the limit on the size of private gatherings to six from the current four. The revised rules will be in place from Monday through Feb. 6.
To fend off imported cases, the health authorities decided to ban all entrants' use of public transportation upon arrival and tighten rules on the proof of negative COVID-19 test results. The measures will go into effect Thursday.
On Friday, the government began administering U.S. drug giant Pfizer Inc.'s Paxlovid antiviral COVID-19 treatment pills, a day after the first batch for 21,000 people arrived in South Korea.

Patients with a compromised immune system and those aged over 65 are on the priority list, the KDCA said.
South Korea has secured Pfizer's medication for 762,000 people, as well as oral pills made by U.S. drugmaker MSD for 242,000 people, with the second batch of Paxlovid for 10,000 people to be shipped by the end of this month, according to the government.
Of the new domestic cases, 1,761 cases were reported in Gyeonggi Province surrounding Seoul, 823 in the capital, 221 in the western port city of Incheon, 205 in the southwestern city of Gwangju and 151 in South Jeolla Province.
As of Saturday, 43.47 million people, or 84.7 percent of the country's 52 million population, have been fully vaccinated, and 23.02 million, or 44.9 percent, have received booster shots, the health authorities said.

BioM: Gehrke, Alice (1965)
Surnames: Gehrke, Siggelkow, Langholl
---------Source: OWEN ENTERPRISE (Owen, Clark County, Wis.) 04/15/1965
Gehrke, Alice (3 APR 1965)
Married during an 8 o'clock wedding ceremony, Saturday evening, April 3, 1865, at the Christian and Missionary Alliance church in Owen, were Miss Alice Gehrke, Wausau, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Gehrke, Withee, and Robert Siggelkow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Siggelkow, Withee (Clark Co., Wis.). Mr. Gehrke gave his daughter in marriage.
Officiating at the nuptials was the Rev. Arnold Woodring, with Mrs. Woodring singing "O Perfect Love" and Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us." Easter lilies graced the altar.
Schiffli embroidered organza was used to fashion the bridal gown, which had a molded bodice styled with bateau neckline and bell-shaped skirt softly shirred at the waistline, also enhance with Schiffli embroidery.
Her fingertip veil of silk illusion was caught to a jeweled scalloped queen's crown of rhinestones, and she carried a bouquet of red roses interspersed with white stephanotis.
The matron of honor, Mrs. Kenneth Langholl, Milwaukee, donned a floor length gown with a mint green scooped bodice and tied at the waistline with a bow. The white skirt was bell shaped. Her headpiece matched her ensemble and she carried an arrangement of white daisies.
Charles Siggelkow, Milwaukee, was best man.
Following the church ceremony, a dinner and reception were held at the Woodland Hotel in Owen for members of the immediate families. The newlyweds then left on a wedding trip to San Antonio, Tex., where the bridegroom presently is stationed with the U.S. Army.
Mrs. Siggelkow, who was employed by Employers Mutual of Wausau, was graduated in 1962 from Owen-Withee High School.
Her husband, who was graduated from the same high school a year earlier, will resume his employment with the Harley Davidson Co. in Milwaukee after his discharge from service.

FORT WORTH -- State Rep. Charlie Geren graduated from Southern Methodist University. But Wednesday, he wrote a check for $1,500 for an autographed Texas Christian University football and four 50-yard-line seats to the Houston Bowl.
Fort Worth lawyer Buzz Kemble is another SMU alum; Kemble even played on the Mustangs' football team in the 1950s. But he praised TCU's athletic accomplishments as he emceed the Exchange Club's annual luncheon to raise money for the Star-Telegram's Goodfellow Fund.
"They raise some serious dollars for Goodfellows," Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief said. "This year, with the challenges that so many of the nonprofits have, especially after hurricanes Katrina and Rita have visited us, people are given out. This was a chance for Santa and his helpers to twist some arms."
The tally at the end of the luncheon was about $53,000, club officials said. The donation will be a welcome boost to the fund. In general, contributions are lagging far behind last year's and the number of children served was cut back from last year's total.
Goodfellows provides gift cards for children whose parents or guardians show need. The cards can be redeemed for shoes and clothing.
Although the group of about 50 men at Wednesday's luncheon wield lots of power in Cowtown, they relished the opportunity to behave like kids as they raked in the money.
Luther King, chairman of TCU's board of trustees, entered the room in a Santa Claus suit. He was flanked by two TCU cheerleaders who served as Santa's helpers.
Retired TCU Chancellor Bill Tucker and Fort Worth businessman John Roach were among seven members with TCU ties who proudly sat at the "TCU table" at the front of the room.
Throughout the lunch hour, the TCU men were teased by Kemble, who put on an SMU cap and displayed a banner that said: "Fiesta Bowl, $13,000,000." That's the amount that TCU would have received had the Horned Frogs gained a berth in the Fiesta Bowl.
The Mustangs dashed those hopes when they defeated the Horned Frogs on Sept. 10, Kemble proudly pointed out.
But the biggest laughs came when Kemble asked Don Williamson of Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Co. to shuck his light brown pants. Kemble said he had recently shopped for Dickies pants and couldn't find a brown pair.
After Williamson stripped to long boxer shorts and handed over his slacks, Kemble gave Williamson a pair of TCU sweat pants in exchange.
Throughout the wacky ordeal, Williamson was a good sport.
"Everybody here, no matter what you do to them, they take it in good spirits," Kemble said.

Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance Honors Iconic Route 66
Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance, the world's longest continually running concours, is celebrating its 66th year anniversary.

Dystroglycanopathies are a clinically and genetically diverse group of recessively inherited conditions ranging from the most severe of the congenital muscular dystrophies, Walker-Warburg syndrome, to mild forms of adult-onset limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Their hallmark is a reduction in the functional glycosylation of α-dystroglycan, which can be detected in muscle biopsies. An important part of this glycosylation is a unique O-mannosylation, essential for the interaction of α-dystroglycan with extracellular matrix proteins such as laminin-α2. Mutations in eight genes coding for proteins in the glycosylation pathway are responsible for ∼50% of dystroglycanopathy cases. Despite multiple efforts using traditional positional cloning, the causative genes for unsolved dystroglycanopathy cases have escaped discovery for several years. In a recent collaborative study, we discovered that loss-of-function recessive mutations in a novel gene, called isoprenoid synthase domain containing (ISPD), are a relatively common cause of Walker-Warburg syndrome. In this article, we report the involvement of the ISPD gene in milder dystroglycanopathy phenotypes ranging from congenital muscular dystrophy to limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and identified allelic ISPD variants in nine cases belonging to seven families. In two ambulant cases, there was evidence of structural brain involvement, whereas in seven, the clinical manifestation was restricted to a dystrophic skeletal muscle phenotype. Although the function of ISPD in mammals is not yet known, mutations in this gene clearly lead to a reduction in the functional glycosylation of α-dystroglycan, which not only causes the severe Walker-Warburg syndrome but is also a common cause of the milder forms of dystroglycanopathy.

Bethany Harris from Dora High School Class of 2015 Died in a car accident
Story from The Daily Mountain Eagle
Bethany Harris, a University of West Alabama cheerleader and former Dora High School valedictorian, died Tuesday morning when her car crashed in Tuscaloosa County.
A press release from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Harris, 19, was traveling on I-59 when her 2007 Scion TC left the roadway near the Joe Mallisham Parkway exit, four miles south of Tusca-loosa, and hit an embankment and a tree.
While the crash occurred at 7:45 a.m., Harris' body wasn't found until 2:30 p.m. Initial investigations concluded that the driver, then unidentified, may have left the scene; however, after Harris' body was found, it was determined she was ejected into a wooded area away from the vehicle. She was not wearing a seat belt.
Senior Trooper Reginal King could not confirm the distance Harris' body was found from the vehicle crash site, and the accident remains under investigation.
Harris was initially reported missing Tuesday before her passing was later confirmed.
She was a resident of Empire and a 2015 graduate of Dora High School. Harris had just completed her first semester at the University of West Alabama, where she was a cheerleader and a member of the Kappa Xi chapter of UWA's Phi Mu.
UWA Director of Student Life Richard Hester announced Harris' passing on the UWA Student Life Facebook page Tuesday night, which read in part: "We are deeply saddened by this tragedy, and we express our sincere condolences to Bethany's family. She has many friends at UWA and will be greatly missed by the campus community, throughout which she was known and will be remembered for her dedication in the classroom and on the sidelines of Tiger athletics as a cheerleader. She was also very active in greek life on campus."
West Alabama football coach Brett Gilliland shared on his Twitter account: "Saddened by the loss of UWA cheerleader Bethany Harris. Our prayers are with all of her family and friends. Lord give them peace and comfort."
A candlelight vigil was held for Harris at Dora High School Tuesday night, where more thn 100 people showed up to remember their classmate, friend, loved one and for her teachers, their bright student.
"When I [saw] all the people as I was getting out of the car, I immediately called our department chaplain to come out to help everyone cope with the loss of such a great young woman," Dora Police Chief Jared Hall said in a statement. "Family, friends, educators, ministers, as well as the chaplain spoke to the group and prayed for the family."
He continued, "I could immediately tell how important she was to the school and the community based on the turnout at the vigil and all the posts on social media."
Funeral Arrangements posted by Dora High School principal Paige Skalnic
The arrangements for our sweet Bethany Harris will be at New Horizon Funeral Home ---Saturday evening viewing at 6 p.m. And the funeral to be held on Sunday at 1 p.m.
I love this picture of her. I know how difficult it is to "transition" from one's school colors, but it's obvious she was taking pride in being a UWA Tiger! Thoughts and prayers continue to come in from her friends in surrounding communities.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16.

Compiled vs. Interpreted Languages: Which Is Better for DevOps?
Interpreted languages would seem to be better for DevOps, but compiled languages have speed on their side.
Christopher Tozzi | May 27, 2020
In the age of DevOps, programmers are encouraged to prioritize speed, agility and visibility. In many respects, interpreted programming languages would seem to offer an advantage in this respect over compiled languages. In fact, you might argue that DevOps could eventually lead compiled languages to become obsolete.
Is that an overstatement? Let's explore the benefits and drawbacks of interpreted and compiled languages for DevOps programming.
Advantages of Interpreted Languages for DevOps
Interpreted languages--meaning those where source code is fed directly to an interpreter at the time of execution, rather than being compiled ahead of time--offer several benefits from the DevOps perspective, including:
Code access and transparency: Part of the purpose of DevOps is to enable seamless collaboration among all stakeholders. Interpreted languages do this by making it easy to access the source code. An IT Ops engineer who wants to see the source doesn't have to ask developers for it; he or she can look right at the application itself.
Agility: Interpreted code is easier to modify and redeploy because there is no need to recompile it each time you make an update. That's an advantage if you are doing continuous delivery and want to be able to issue new releases quickly.
Portability: Most interpreted languages are easily portable; you don't need to recompile your apps or make extensive source code changes for each operating system that you want to deploy to. This is also an advantage for DevOps teams that want the agility to target different deployment environments at will or migrate from one hosting infrastructure to another with ease.
Monitoring and troubleshooting: Arguably, it is easier to monitor and troubleshoot applications that are written in interpreted languages because data about application behavior and performance can be collected directly from the interpreter. This characteristic also improves visibility.
These advantages help to explain why Python, which originated in the late 1980s as a language primarily for boring system-administration tasks on the Amoeba operating system, has grown into a full-fledged, general-purpose language that runs almost anywhere. You could draw similar conclusions about Ruby, another popular interpreted language designed to improve accessibility and readability at a time when many other languages lacked these traits.
These languages originated before DevOps emerged in the late 2000s, of course. But I suspect that part of the reason why they remain so popular today is that they happen to be excellent programming languages for DevOps.
Compiled Languages and DevOps
All of this is not to say that compiled languages are useless in the context of DevOps.
Compiled languages still retain their biggest advantage over interpreted ones: speed and performance. Although modern interpreted languages perform quite well (which was not the case decades ago), in most cases applications written in a compiled language will still run faster and consume fewer resources. For DevOps teams concerned with efficiency and user experience, then, compiled languages offer at least one important advantage.
Some compiled languages that have debuted in recent years, such as Go, also lend themselves particularly well to modern application architectural and deployment strategies, like microservices and distributed environments. That's not surprising, given that these languages were designed in an age when these trends were already becoming important. But it does give them an advantage over the mainstay interpreted languages, most of which originated decades ago and were not designed with modern deployment techniques in mind.
So, which type of language is best for DevOps?
The answer depends on what matters most to you as a programmer. If having a modern architecture and optimizing the performance of your application is your greatest priority, a compiled language will probably be the best choice for you.
However, if having agility and visibility within the continuous delivery process is more important, interpreted languages are an overall better choice for DevOps programming.
Because both types of language have their advantages and drawbacks, I don't think we should expect one or the other to disappear anytime soon. But I do suspect that, as long as we continue to live in a DevOps-dominated world, interpreted languages will only grow in popularity.

Paypal Funds Direct Withdrawal with Coinstar Machine
By Vinson / Uncategorized
PayPal has recently announced an expanded relationship with Coinstar, the maker of those coin-counting machines in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Starting with a limited rollout in Texas, Northern California, and Ohio, customers will now be able to use these kiosks to withdraw money already held in their PayPal accounts. They'll also be able to use the machines to deposit coins and paper currency into their PayPal account and send money to other PayPal accounts, the company says. Coinstar's standard 9.8 percent fee is deducted from all coin deposits, and customers are limited to adding $500 to their PayPal account from the kiosk each month. The next time you need to withdraw money from your PayPal account, you might be able to simply head over to your local Coinstar machine.
Coinstar said it conducted a test of the new service in Dallas and found who users were receptive to it. Forty percent of kiosk users who took advantage of the new feature went back to use PayPal on the kiosk an average of two times a month. At this point, it doesn't look like the functionality is widely available, however. Users can search Coinstar's website to see if a PayPal-equipped kiosk is available in their area. Before heading to a kiosk to use the new service, users will need to enroll their PayPal account. I'm hoping that someday this machine will become available here in the Philippines as well. I'm sure many Filipino online freelancers like me will love this Coinstar Machine. Instant Paypal withdrawal!!

Taking attention with its colour range differing from delicate pastel pink to intense violetish purple, Kunzite is an unknown but a rare beauty. Often found in bigger sizes, Kunzite is monoclinic and its crystals usually turn into a blade-like shape. Even if it is unknown to most people, there are such important figures adorning themselves with Kunzite as Duchess of Gloucester.
Considered to be the rarest form of opal, Black Opal has various colour tones differing from jet black to dark grey. What makes this stone special is the variety of hues that could be seen in the stone. You could see the shiny red, orange, or green hues reflecting from the Black Opal.
Named after the harmonious colour range of Neptune's surface, Neptun Garden Topaz welcomes you into the extraterrestrial charm of its stone. To enhance its colour and quality, Neptun Garden Topaz is coated with a substance. As a member of the topaz stones, this stone also has relaxing features thanks to its energy. For the believers of the stone's powers, it will calm your nerves and protect you from sickness
With its transparent surface, the Mercure Topaz reflects the light by giving the aurora effect. Like the planet Mercury turning into blue when the sunlight is reflected, Mercure Topaz's dazzling colours could be seen once it is exposed to sunlight. This effect is provided through the coating process called physical vapour deposition and the luminous effect comes out as a result.
As mystical as its name, Mystic Topaz is a paradise of colours with its rainbow shine. Through the coating process, its colour is enhanced and takes its final form. Believed to drive away negative feelings and warding off the evil spirits, this stone relaxes its user. With its "eye-clean" stone, there is no place for imperfection in Mystic Topaz. For a condensed version of the rainbow, this stone is a great choice for you.
As one of the rarest versions of the topaz, Pink Topaz will melt the hearts of pink lovers with its delicate beauty. Through the coating process, its colour is enhanced and takes its final form. Vitalizing its owner's energy, this stone is believed to save you from the negative energy thanks to the divine protection of the sun. Because it enhances creative thinking, Pink Topaz could be a great choice for designers or artists. You will feel the warmth of its colours when you take a look inside of it.
Being an astonishing stone with its sparkling beauty, Opal with the white colour is the most common type of Opal. Like other Opal stones, it is believed to have high energy and remarkable effects on the body. Opal is believed to change negative energy to the positive one and clear the mind of its user.
Classified as a semi-precious stone, Sultan Stone has become very popular lately. Depending on the source of light, its colours could change from champagne to peach. Thanks to its high refractive index, you could see the array of those colours even in the dim light. It is usually produced in bigger carats to see that breathtaking change in the colours.
As one of the members of the Grossular Garnet family, Tsavorite has been one of the most popular gemstones with its rarity. Due to its breathtaking green colour, it could remind you of Emerald. Taking its green colour from its chemical structure that includes chromium or vanadium, Tsavorite is a feast for the eyes. Tsavorite is believed to heal the emotional trauma or illness of its user.
As a member of the Sapphire family, Black Sapphire is one of the varieties of the mineral corundum. With its pitch-black colour, Black Sapphire maintains its dark tones while some of them might also reveal metallic tones when they are exposed to light. Mainly mined in Australia, Black Sapphire could be a great alternative for black lovers. Black Sapphires are believed to keep the owner calm in a chaotic situation and serve as a protective shield against bullying.
375 Red White Gold
The designations 18K, 14K, or 9K indicate how much pure gold is present in the mixture. 24K gold is known as 100% pure gold. The system used to state how much pure gold is found in an item:
375 Gold - 9K gold contains 9 parts gold and 15 parts another alloy metal(s), commonly varying in silver, copper, zinc, platinum or palladium, making it 37.5% gold.
375 White Red Gold
375 White Yellow Gold
375 Yellow White Gold
375 White Yellow Red Gold
375 Yellow White Red Gold
375 Red White Yellow Gold
375 Red Gold
585 Gold - 14K gold contains 14 parts gold and 10 parts of another alloy metal(s); commonly varying in silver, copper, zinc, platinum or palladium, making it 58.5% gold.
750 Gold - 18K gold contains 18 parts gold and 6 parts of another alloy metal(s); commonly varying in silver, copper, zinc, platinum or palladium, making it 75% gold.
Silver is a precious metal and, much like gold, is too fine to be utilized in its pure form. To make silver durable enough for use in jewelry, pure silver, which has a 0.999 fineness (99.9%), is often alloyed with small quantities of copper or other metals (7.5%). The copper or other metals are added to strengthen the silver and the resulting product is 0.925 sterling silver (92.5%). Acceptable quality marks for sterling silver are sterling, sterling silver, ster, and 925.
Considered among the most pure and precious metals used in modern-day jewelry making, platinum has become synonymous with luxury and longevity. Because of its hardness and durability, pure platinum is often mixed with other metals to make it more malleable. The most common alloy metals paired with platinum are copper, palladium, rhodium, iridium, and titanium. Four times stronger than gold, platinum is renowned for its hardwearing properties, resistance to damage and wear, and its substantial heft. Pieces marked with a 950 purity are a blend of 95% Platinum and 5% alloy metals (usually ruthenium, copper, cobalt, iridium, rhodium, or palladium). Only metals marked with a 950 purity designation are considered high-grade platinum.
950 Palladium alloys developed for jewelry typically contain 95% Palladium and about 5% Ruthenium and have trace amounts of other alloy metals. 950 palladium furthermore does not require rhodium plating, and has desirable, platinum-like setting and forming characteristics.
Palladium falls within the platinum group of metals and shares the same chemical properties with Platinum, but is softer and more convenient in price. It can be used as a bleaching within the manufacturing of white gold. It's natural, lustrous, and silvery - white colour does not need to be plated.
500 Palladium contains 50% Palladium and the rest is composed of other elements. The remaining metal alloys are usually silver and zinc.
Platinum is considered the world's most precious metal and it is very rare to see %100 pure Platinum as the remaining metal is usually composed of other elements. It is ultimately precious not only because of its exquisite beauty and durability but also because it is not easy to locate Platinum in many parts of the world. Did you know that in order to produce a single ounce of Platinum, a total amount of 10 tons of ore must be mined?
600 Platinum is equivalent to 60% pure Platinum while the rest of the metal is composed of other elements.
At GLAMIRA we gather our metals, used in our production process, from the most trusted suppliers worldwide and with great care and value. Our customers place their credence in us therefore it is our utmost duty to provide them the excellence they deserve in the pieces we offer.
950 Platinum jewellery consists of 95% platinum. Platinum is a hypoallergenic metal and with its durable and stainless structure, it enables a long usage. Gold jewellery is made of gold and an alloy of different metals required to process it. 950 Platinum & Gold enables the use of both metals together on the same piece of jewellery. The amount of gold depends on the gold karat that you select.
925 Silver, also called "Sterling Silver", consists of 92,5% silver. Gold jewellery is made of gold and an alloy of different metals required to process it. 925 Silver & Gold enables the use of both metals together on the same piece of jewellery. The amount of gold depends on the gold karat that you select.

A little bit of history:
Existed in Greek and Roman times, at times used to honour deities.
In the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church used foundations for religious purposes.
Around the same time, in Arabia, with the growth of Islam, a pious donation called a "waqf" developed.
Laws and regulations became more sophisticated during the early 20th century.
Liechtenstein was the pioneer with respect to private foundations.
In the early 20th Century it moulded a solid foundations legislation.
Panama followed suit, and also created a strong legislation for Private foundations.
"A foundation is an organisation consisting of a universality of things constituted in writing, including by means of a will, by a founder or founders whereby assets are destined either –
For the fulfilment of a specified purpose; or
For the benefit of a named person or class of persons, and are entrusted to the administration of a designated person or persons. The patrimony, namely assets and liabilities, of the foundation is kept distinct from that of its founder, administrators or any beneficiaries."
Art 26 (1) Second Schedule Civil Code Cap 16 of Laws of Malta.
The Founder:
May be any person, including a body corporate or other business entity.
May be more than one in a private foundation.
Details are public on the deed of the foundation.
May have various powers as per the Deed of the Foundation, including removing the administrator, winding up the foundation and authorising distributions to the beneficiaries.
The Administrator:
For a private foundation, has to be at least one person.
Can be a natural person or body corporate.
Has to be authorised in Malta by the MFSA.
Has duties akin to a director of a company, albeit having also fiduciary duties.
The Beneficiary:
Can be an individual or any body of persons (including companies, foundations etc).
Can be a group of individuals or class of persons.
Can be appointed in a discretionary fashion by the administrator if so provided in the Deed.
Can be a person or person who is not yet born.
Becomes legally a beneficiary when so appointed, notified, and accepts in writing.
The Deed may provide that the beneficiary may deal in his entitlement, including transferring it to third parties.
The Deed may provide that the beneficial entitlement in a foundation is inheritable.
Can remain anonymous on public documents, since a Beneficiary Statement can not be annexed to the Deed.
The Wild Card – The Protector:
Borrows from trust law, in that a Founder has an option to appoint a Protector or Protectors also known as Supervisory Council.
Can be an individual, a group of individuals or body corporate.
The Wild Card – The Protector.
Investing private foundation assets and Activities:
Typical assets:
Shares, stocks, bonds, currencies, immovable and intellectual property, art, precious metals, private equity, life insurance policies, etc.
Restriction to Trade:
The Civil code contains a general provision that foundation "may not be established to trade or carry on commercial activities."
Exceptions to the Restriction:
Hold commercial property or a shareholding in a profit making enterprise, franchise, trade mark, or other asset which gives rise to income, including ships (provided it is the passive owner thereof)
Act as a collective investment scheme, subject to MFSA licenses
Be used for the purpose of securitisation transactions, borrow monies against the issue of bonds and do the relative ancillary acts.
Other practical uses:
Hold terms deposit accounts, bonds, stocks, shares and similar financial instruments
Jewellery, works of art, fines wines, physical gold and silver, etc.
Foundation vs Trust:
Private Foundation Trust
A foundation is a body corporate with separate juridical personality. A trust is a contractual agreement.
A foundation holds assets in its own legal name. A trust's assets are held and owned legally by the trustee.
A foundation is administered by an administrator/s, who has a quasi directorial and fiduciary role. A trust is administered by the trustee who is also the owner of the assets.
The founder can keep control on the assets of a foundation, without effecting the legal status if the foundation. For trusts, this is more difficult and sham trusts have been proven in law courts around the world.
Family Office in Malta:
setting up a foundation
1 STEP:

1. A body corporate is set up having limited liability and separate juridical personality.
2. Deemed to be registered for one hundred twenty five years, unless a specific clause is provided in the Deed for a shorter term.
3. The assets and liabilities thereof are distinct from the founder, administrator and beneficiary.
4. Foundation can be liquidated prior to its term, or else remains legally registered for 125 years.
5. Requirement to pay annual registration fee, based on the size of the endowment.
6. No automatic requirement for annual audits – this depends on whether this is included in the deed (and on type of taxation opted to by the Foundation).
7. Annual accounts are always prepared by the administrator.
Taxation aspects:
— The Foundation has a very efficient tax setup whereby it can choose to be taxed as a company or a trust.
— The Administrators have a one time option to choose under which regime the Foundation should be treated.
— Major tax benefits apply to non-resident persons or persons who are taxed on an arising basis.
Foundation Treated as a Company for Income Tax:
Taxable on a world-wide basis.
Headline tax rate is 35%.
However, may benefit from refund system or participation exemption regime, which may reduce the tax rate to NIL.
When treated as a company, from the Maltese perspective it may benefit from Malta's extensive Double Taxation Treaty Network.
Distributions deemed to be dividends in the hands of the beneficiaries.
This option not commonly opted for, though may be more beneficial in certain cases.
Foundation Treated as a Trust for income Tax purposes:
Transparent for tax purposes (only!).
It need not register for income tax purposes.
It need not send or deliver any annual tax returns or audited account.
The Administrator is in duty bound to advise the Beneficiaries about their personal Maltese tax situation in the event that there is any income that is taxable.
Most common type of tax registration for private foundations.
For resident persons, also advisable when form of income is subject to a final withholding tax, such as investment income or dividends.
Final comment:
Important to gauge tax/duty on endowment of certain assets (notably shares or immovables) to foundations.
Taxability of gain from disposal beneficial interest.
Maltese Segregated Cell Foundations:
The Civil code has an innovative feature to allow Private Foundations to have Cells.
In such cases it is a single legal, but which has separate compartments, referred to as cells, that essentially ring-fence the assets and liabilities of a cell from other cells within the Foundation. Each Cell has its own beneficiary or potential beneficiary, which may be completely unrelated to the beneficiaries of other cells within the structure.
This feature has been transposed into Maltese Foundations to create a unique wealth structuring opportunity for large High Net Worth Families whose foundation has multiple generations of beneficiaries, each with their own risk profile and investment outlook.
It may be possible to establish multiple cells within their foundation, each catering to a particular beneficiary or group of beneficiaries.
Whilst the segregated cell does not enjoy its own separate legal personality, it is designated its own distinct name and constitutes a distinct patrimony from all other assets and liabilities of the foundation.
Hence the general assets of the foundation or other cells will not be available to settle any liabilities due by a specific cell.
It is also possible in terms of the Civil Code for cells to be able to "migrate" from the component foundation, and become a foundation in its own right with separate juridical personality.

Hunter Rescued After Spending 2 Nights Lost in Wyoming Mountains
Nick Learned
Nick Learned Published: October 3, 2019
Tracie Perkins, Townsquare Media
A Kansas man was rescued Wednesday after he got lost while hunting and spent two nights in the Wyoming backcountry.
Rudy Miller, 61, was alert when he was found and was taken to Sheridan Memorial Hospital to be evaluated as a precaution. Searchers located him about a mile west of the U.S. Forest Service boundary in the Wolf Creek drainage of the Bighorn Mountains.
Miller had been hunting with a group of people when he decided to head back to their vehicle at roughly 4 p.m. Monday. When the rest of the party returned to the vehicle, Miller was nowhere to be found.
They searched for several hours before calling the Sheridan County Sheriff's Office shortly before 10 p.m. Authorities searched through the night, knowing Miller was not prepared to stay overnight wearing only a jacket, blue jeans and hiking boots.
Officials were concerned due to Miller's medical history and inclement weather conditions, according to a statement from the sheriff's office. The area where Miller was last seen is accessible only by foot and horseback.
Heavy fog combined with snow and rainfall hampered search efforts. A Wyoming National Guard helicopter requested to aid in the search was unable to leave Cheyenne due to inclement weather.
The search continued into Tuesday with some 36 people from different agencies looking for Miller. The weather didn't let up and, by Wednesday, the number of searchers had grown to 50.
Although the national guard tried to fly into the area to assist several times, their aircraft had to return to the Sheridan County Airport in every attempt, again because of the weather.
At roughly 11:20 a.m. Wednesday, a hunter in the Sibley Creek area saw a person that matched Miller's description. Terrain and weather prevented the hunter from approaching Miller, but he was able to contact search crews.
However, fog moved into the area and caused search crews to lose sight of Miller. Crews on horseback rode in and found fresh boot tracks, which led them to find Miller shortly before 5:30 p.m.

[3.1] Chapter Three addresses three main questions: What is the circle of fifths? Who had the concept published? and, when did the fifths of the ancients and medieval theorists become a circle?
[3.2] While he was in Moscow, in 1678 or 1679, Diletskii wrote a musical treatise named Idea Grammatikii Musikiiskoi, the word idea used here to mean a concept. In this volume he offers students of music the advice to study the works of other musicians to understand how those pieces are composed. He directs the emphasis to composition being the priority. The treatise initially posits the question 'what is music?' Two answers are provided in the publication. The first is music moves the emotions to feel happiness or sadness, the second is that the voice moves in an ascending or descending manner (Jensen, 2009a, pp.111–113). Whilst there are no listings of music that demonstrate musical styles that evoke feelings of happiness and sadness there is a short musical score demonstrating the sounds of the triads.
[3.3] Diletskii divides music into two styles, one according to its meaning and one according to its key. He explains that the meaning of the first is three-fold, music that makes you happy, sad or initially happy and then sad. The text uses solmisation, a system of assigning a note a syllable, those being of Ut, re, mi, fa, sol and la to demonstrate the pitch of the notes of the triads. These triads are included to demonstrate the division of happy and sad sounds in a scale (Figure 3-1). Ut-mi-sol were classified to use for happy singing and re-fa-la were categorised to be used for sad singing. This system was well established, having been written and introduced by Guido de'Arezzo in Ut Queant Laxis circa 991 – 1035 AD (Itchiro, 2011). Idea Grammatikii Musikiiskoi does not reference this methodology, however it can be accepted that the reader would have been aware of it.
[3.4] The second style is the clarification of key which is split into four styles, the initial set contains no sharps and flats, the following just sharps, just flats or a mix of both. The rest of the text continues to amplify the uses of these styles and ways to move between keys. The second half focuses on compositional methods and how to use the different keys and modulate between them. The major and minor key system we know today can be seen in the components that are listed in the treatise, but he does not go so far as to name the options given as major and minor. Towards the end of the volume Diletskii introduces the musical circle (Jensen, 2009b, pp.137–140) (Figure 3‑2). He details methods to expand a composition by adjusting the melody alongside methodology to interpret figured bass. The musical circle shown in Diletskii's work shows a short melody transposed into different keys, this is recognised as the first musical circle (Собрание рукописей и старопечатных книг, 1670) (Figure 3-3).
[3.5] The next musical circle did not appear until 1711, published by German composer Johann Heinichen (Figure 3‑4). This circle was published, as the previous circle, to aid modulation from one key to another. Heinichen does not take credit for the circle and is quoted as claiming that it came from Athanasius Kircher however Joel Lester states in The Recognition of Major and Minor Keys in German Theory that the major minor circle concept was more theoretical, and that Heinichen was the first to publish the proposal of a circular harmonic progression of keys (Heinichen, 1728).
[3.6] It was another composer seven years later who rallied the cause of the new system and waged war on the old modal system. Johann Mattheson could see a place for modes in church but not in the music of the people. He published a treatise of all the keys and states that no other musician, bar Heinichen, had ever presented all the keys. While Heinichen paired relative major and minor keys, Matthesons' model (Mattheson, 1735) (Figure 3‑5) had no musical rationale other than he perceived that it was more suitable to modulate than Heinichen's (Lester, 1978).
[3.7] The final circle to consider is by David Kellner (Figure 3‑6). The general-bass treatise he published in 1732 (Killner, 1737) was considered an essential book for any elementary student. This volume included a musical circle which incorporated an example of the key signature and the minor circle of keys related by key signature inside the major keys. It is notable that three of the four circles we have looked at have been published in publications used for the realisation of figured bass, these were called thoroughbass. Heinichen published two of the aforementioned methods. Mattheson's book was published a year earlier and would have been known to Kellner. In the second edition of Kellner's publication, he refutes a negative review which, although it does not mention the reviewer, is believed came from Mattheson (Sparr, 1997, pp.43–47).
[3.8] This chapter commenced asking three main questions. The first question was what is the circle of fifths? In answer to this it is a sequence of keys compiled to aid composition and an understanding of figured or thorough bass and the connections between the major and minor tonalities of the new tuning system. The second question is who had the concept published? In answer to this we have four gentlemen, one from Russia and three from Germany, namely Diletskii, Heinichen, Mattheson and Kellner. Finally, the third question was when did the fifths of the ancients and medieval theorists become a circle? The first musical circle was published in 1677 followed by 1728, 1735, 1737.
[3.9] Considering the relevance that the circle of fifths has in elementary music education today one can say, with reference to the information presented in this chapter, that the knowledge of the circle of fifths enables a student to understand the triads used in a composition, the chords that enable a simple modulation and the relationships between the major and minor keys via the sixth of the scale.

The Daily Helmet: What's A Hemet without Stripes?
Of the current 32 teams in the NFL, thirteen do not have helmet stripes (I counted the Bengals and Seahawks). One of my favorite elements of any good helmet design is a great stripe. As with anything, there are many different stripe patterns, but I tend to like the classics. All of these newfangled stripes that started to appear in the 1990s just are not to me. I just think overall, a helmet looks better with a nice set of stripes. Teams like the Cardinals, Bears and Chiefs I give a pass, but teams like the Texans, Patriots and Falcons should absolutely add stripes. The new Jets helmet also is missing stripes, but I think overall, I am okay with it, given the connection to the last time they had green helmets.
My Favorite Style Stripes
of all the different variety of stripes my favorite has to be what is commonly referred to as NFL stripes or multi-colored. Normally this stripe is a 1″ center stripe immediately surrounded by two half inch stripes, but the multi-colored stripe can have variations of stripe sizes. This is the classic stripe pattern you will see on the Saints, Packers, Bills (although tapered), Browns, 49ers and Cowboys. Sadly, the Falcons, Lions, Broncos and Buccaneers used to have this great stripe pattern, but abandoned them for new stripe styles like the Lions or completely ditched a helmet stripe like the Falcons and Bucs.
Auburn Strips
The Auburn helmet is one of my favorites. Love the design, especially the stripes. The AU logo was added in 1966. pic.twitter.com/NuYvedk9Rh
— 𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙢𝙚𝙩 𝘼𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩 (@HelmetAddict) January 3, 2017
My second favorite stripe pattern is the Auburn stripe or Multi-colored spaced stripe. The only team left that still basically uses that pattern is the Redskins, who use wide variation of the Auburn Stripe. Teams who used the pattern in the past included the Dolphins, Bills, Oilers and Patriots.
Single Stripe
Several teams have the minimum number of stripes to make the list of striped teams. I have no problem with a single stripe. It is simple, classic and timeless. The Raiders, Giants, Steelers and Colts all have classic uniforms and single stripes.
Modern Stripes
In the 1990s teams started to stray from traditional stripe patterns to something that I guess would be considered modern. The first NFL team to have a modern style stripe was the Carolina Panthers. I guess the stripe was meant to be sleek, perhaps a claw mark? I don't know. While it sort of works on their helmets, I would have preferred something more traditional. A year later the Ravens franchise was born and along came another team with modern Stripes. In 1997 the Broncos would switch from their traditional stripe and go with their own modern style stripe, which never really worked for me, but I could say that about their whole uniform. When the Oilers name was retired and the franchise became the Titans, they would also have a modern style strip. The Seahawks, who traditionally never had a top helmet stripe, because their logo is basically a bird-stripe hybrid, did add a feather-like pattern to their helmet.
NO Stripes For You
I love a striped helmet, but there are many teams that don't have any stripes at all. There are obvious ones, like the Rams, Vikings and Eagles that make sense. Then there are the historical teams like the Bears, Chiefs and Cardinals, that have never had stripes on their helmets. I have a real problem with teams that decided they didn't need stripes. The patriots, Buccaneers and the worst offender, the Falcons. To me the Falcons helmet, stripes included was a thing of beauty, but they ditched their awesome logo and stripes for that helmet they wear now. Then there is the Texans, who must have really decided that they wanted the most generic and boring uniform, ever. Going stripe-less. I think a red and white NFL stripe would really upgrade the helmet, which already has a solid logo.
Other Noted Stripes:
Finished my 1966 Atlanta Falcons helmet. Although, I still need to pick up some thin jaw pads, it didn't come with any. pic.twitter.com/HHQuRG308F
— 𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙢𝙚𝙩 𝘼𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩 (@HelmetAddict) April 25, 2017
When the Falcons debuted in 1966 their helmet has a five stripe pattern, which included two outside gold stripes. It was a tribute to their hometown college team, Georgia Tech, which was in addition to their main color scheme which was inspired by the Georgia Bulldogs. The falcons would remove the gold in 1970 and totally get rid of stripes with their 1990 uniform redesign.
For the 1976 season the Cowboys wore red,white and blue stripes to honor the United States Bicentennial.
Bills Tapered Stripe
In a uniform redesign that was very well received in 2011, the Bills did have a couple missteps in the design. One of those was the helmet stripe, which went back to the NFL stripes and was another element that was borrowed from their 1974-1983 uniforms. At first glance it seemed like a normal stripe, but the back featured a taper that was supposedly meant to simulate the stripe of the charging Buffalo. Pretty pointless if you ask me.
The Many Stripes Of The Oilers
Throughout the Oilers history they changed their helmets several times. During these changes, they also had different helmet stripes. They started out with the single stripe in 1960, switching to a five stripe pattern in 1964. In 1966 they switched to silver helmets and another five stripe variation. Then keeping the Silver, but switching to a three stripe in 1968. In 1972 they changed to another blue helmet with three stripes before finally settling on a white helmet in 1975 with the Auburn style stripes until they moved to Tennessee. and became the Titans.

Models Support Human Rights Cotton Campaign
By Regina Walton on March 11, 2008
Over 20 top models have volunteered to be photographed in cotton shirts made by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF). Some of the models, photographed in EJF's 'Pick Your Cotton Carefully' campaign t-shirts, include Irina Lazareanu, Coco Rocha, Catherine McNeil, Caroline Trentini, Siri Tollerød, and Behati Prinsloo. The most recent 19 models were photographed by Eric Guillerman.
The organic cotton t-shirts were designed by Luella, Christian Lacroix, Betty Jackson and Katharine Hamnett. All shirts are designed around the theme of "childhood, lost innocence and hope" and represent more than one million children worldwide who are forced to work in the cotton industry. The shirts are only $60 and are shipped worldwide for $10. All profits from the sale of the t-shirt are used to support EJF's work.
The EJF's goal is to clean up the cotton industry because "over two-thirds of the world's cotton is grown in developing countries and the former Soviet Union. Valued at over $30 billion every year, global cotton production should be improving lives. But this 'white gold' too often brings misery. Although some progress is being made, the unsustainable, inequitable and abusive conditions under which much of the world's cotton is produced, continues." Other supporters of the 'Pick Your Cotton Carefully' campaign include Lily Cole, Erin O'Connor, KT Tunstall, and Peaches Geldof.
